Chapter 554 Smoke and Cloud

"Anything else?"

After sighing for a while, Tiandao couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw Hei Jue still standing motionless like a wooden stake on the rooftop.

He never had a good impression of this yin-yang-faced guy.

If the other party's ability hadn't really helped the development of the organization, he would have crushed this gloomy guy to death!

The heir to Uchiha Madara's will?

Nagato hehe!

What is Madara Uchiha?

Seeing Tiandao's slightly murderous gaze looking over, Hei Jue nodded as usual.

"There is one more thing. Although it has little to do with us, it will definitely directly affect the future changes in the situation of the ninja world. I think it is necessary to talk to you, leader."

"Oh?" Tiandao raised his eyebrows slightly. When Hei Jue said so confidently, his brows relaxed and he couldn't help but be aroused with some curiosity.

"what's up?"

"Konoha and Kumogakure want to hold a Five Kage Conference, and Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure have all agreed to participate. The time is set for the day after tomorrow, and the location is the Kingdom of Iron."

"Five Shadows Conference?"

Tiandao frowned slightly.

He had heard this word from Yahiko many years ago.

When this word was mentioned at that time, Yahiko's face was full of hope, and he had high respect for the Five Kage Conference in words, thinking that it was sacred and the best way to change the current situation of war in the ninja world without losing blood.

but now......

Tiandao raised his head and looked at the gray sky above his head.

The past and future of the Land of Rain are like this sky, with continuous rain and no hope.

All that is left to the people of this country is suffering!

He lowered his head and looked at Hei Jue.

The corners of his mouth curved into an extremely cold arc.

"That's just a despicable way for five careerists to protect their own interests! Their cold-bloodedness and greed simply make me sick!"

"Forehead......"

Hearing what Nagato said, Black Zetsu opened his mouth and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment.

It didn't expect that Nagato would react like this just by telling the other party a piece of information.

Thinking of this, Hei Jue also smiled coldly in his heart.

"Although it is true, with such a cynical character, it is no wonder that he was deceived by that stupid boy Obito..."

Without waiting for Tiandao's other reaction, Hei Jue nodded indifferently.

"Since you, chief, have no other instructions, let's do nothing and wait and see how things get better. Anyway, the more they fight, the more beneficial it will be to our plan."

As he spoke, Hei Jue's body slowly fell towards the ground.

Tiandao turned his head and glanced lightly, suddenly remembered something, and still confessed uneasily.

"That guy Obito, please keep an eye on him and don't show up frequently in front of the five great ninja villages. If our existence is exposed at this time, it will not be a good thing!"

"Understood, leader. I will keep an eye on him..."

Before he finished speaking, Hei Jue's figure completely disappeared from the ground.

On the rooftop, there was once again a long silence.

I do not know how long it has been.

Xiaonan retracted his gaze towards the haze in the distance, and his gaze fell on Tiandao in front of him.

A hint of complexity flashed in her eyes, and she spoke softly.

"Nagato."

"Ok?"

Tiandao turned his head to the side, revealing half of his cold side face with an indifferent expression.

"Do you think... is it possible to draw Shangguan Mo into our organization, just like Obito?"

After hesitating, Xiaonan still expressed what was on his mind.

This was also the thought that just came to his mind after hearing the information Hei Jue said just now.

Isn’t the enemy of my enemy a natural ally?

"Same as Obito?" Tiandao raised his voice slightly, turned around and looked at Konan with a slight frown.

After a slight silence, he waved his hand and placed a layer of rain barrier around him.

Amidst the rain, he asked in a slower tone.

"What do you think the relationship between Obito and us is?"

Xiaonan was stunned. "Not a partner?"

Unlike members of the Akatsuki organization, Obito does not have a superior-subordinate relationship with Nagato.

Tiandao nodded slightly. "Xiaonan, you are right. It is just a cooperative relationship. Then do you know why we cooperated together?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiaonan tilted her head cutely. "Collecting tailed beasts?"

"Yes, we only cooperate for this goal. Obito is Uchiha Madara's closed disciple and the only disciple. The relationship between me and him is far more complicated than what you usually see."

Tiandao's tone became serious. "Xonan, you have to remember that no one in the ninja world is worthy of our trust. Obito just wants to use my pair of samsara eyes, and I just want to use his and Black Zetsu's abilities to collect tailed beasts."

"I need to always pay attention to the changes in the situation in the ninja world and what impact it will have on the development of the organization. At the same time, I need to be careful to guard against when these two guys will stab me in the back! Although Shangguan Mo originally treated me and Xiaonan, you still Arihiko has shown kindness before, but it was only for his own purpose!"

"Konan, you have to remember that we will never meet a pure person like Yahiko again! Everyone we meet in the future is Obito! They are all talking behind a mask!"

Tiandao's eyes were fixed on Xiaonan, and the turbulent power in those reincarnation eyes made Xiaonan's heart beat faster, but it also brought her a sense of peace of mind.

"Besides, let's not talk about whether that guy is now fully capable and willing to join our organization. Even if he does join the Akatsuki organization, do you think I can still sleep at night in the future?"

Thinking of Shangguan Mo's powerful record of leading the psychic beasts to first defeat Sunagakure and then attack Konoha, and then think about the few crooked melons and cracked dates in his organization.

The expression on Xiaonan's face was stagnant, and then she shook her head stiffly.

"cannot......"

If Shangguan Mo has any different intentions after joining the Xiao organization, it will cause great harm to the organization.

After all, the other party's strength is such that even Nagato, whose personality has changed drastically, dare not easily provoke him.

Previously, Hei Jue asked Nagato to capture Shangguan Mo's psychic beast to fill up the beast's strength. The embarrassment flashed across Tiandao's face for a moment, but Xiaonan could clearly see it from the side.

Only then did she realize that if Shangguan Mo agreed to recruit and wanted to join the Akatsuki organization for some purpose, even Nagato would have a huge headache.

Take it, you can't suppress it if you stay by your side.

Don't accept it, it would be a pity to throw away such a powerful help.

It's better to give up this unrealistic idea altogether.

"I understand..." Xiaonan felt warm in her heart when she saw Nagato showing a rare sincere attitude toward her.

"Although Nagato is completely different from before, at least he still cares about me..."

that's enough.

Because she and Nagato are both wandering ninjas who have no place in this ninja world.

However, as she smiled, Xiaonan still had a complicated look on her face.

Many years ago, Shangguan Mo, as the leader of Tang Ren Village, personally came to the Kingdom of Rain to recruit their little-known Akatsuki organization. However, after some struggle, Yahiko refused cruelly. He did not want to leave the Country of Rain, and he did not want to leave the people of the Country of Rain who needed their help.

But even so, Shangguan Mo still thoughtfully gave them a large amount of food and materials.

Just such an act gave Xiaonan a good impression of the Tang ninja boy who was about the same age as them at the time.

Great love is ruthless.

Love is everywhere in the world.

For lonely people like Xiaonan, even a little kindness is enough to be remembered in their hearts.

"Pity......"

Xiaonan muttered to himself.

She thought she could still be friends with Shangguan Mo.

But remembering that the very kawaii-looking communication bat that Shangguan Mo personally handed to him two years ago was snatched away and crushed by Nagato, a hint of bitterness appeared on Xiaonan's face.

It turned out that she had a whim.

In fact, as early as the moment when Nagato crushed the bat to death, the little bond between them and Shangguan Mo...

It has disappeared!
